It shows that Brendon is much more than a three-chord musician and brings light to his amazing vocal prowess, which was established in "Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!" Overall 8.75/10 The overall musical composition of this album is absolutely spectacular and brings a lot of character to the album. However, the strong sides of this album are absolutely phenomenal. "Victorious", "Hallelujah", "Emperor's New Clothes", and "Death of a Bachelor" are all very hard to listen to over and over again. The singles are not exactly enlightening of this album in general either. There's a lot of dull alcohol/drug related lyrics that just drag on in the album and it dulls the sharpness of each song in general. It also makes the album seem kind of lifeless. This also explains a lot of the unusual consistency of instrumentals. Just one problem, Brendon had to work with other musicians not from the band (Rivers Cuomo from the rock band Weezer as an example) to write music, which doesn't look good for Brendon. Overall 8.75/10ĭeath of a Bachelor was an amazing way to offset the departure of Spencer Smith.
The drums on this album are also very lackluster. The lyrics are conflicting with Brendon and Dallon trying to mesh lyrics, doesn't work.
An unpopular opinion, "Girls/Girls/Boys" is one of the least impressive Panic! songs lyrically. There are many songs that exist on this album, like "Girl That You Love", that are so dull and irritating that it's mind-numbing. Had all these things came together and stayed that way consistently, this album would likely be number one, however there are songs such as "Girl That You Love" that exist. There's a lot of emotion in most of the songs, and "This Is Gospel" is one of the most vocally, and overall, impressive songs in the band's entire discography and the writing shows how good Brendon can throw together a song. The auto-tune in songs like "The End of All Things" give the songs atmosphere. He was willing to try new things such as unusual auto-tune (which he doesn't really need), but it still gives a flare to the album. It showed a new side of Panic! musically, as Brendon Urie matured, so did his lyrics. Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! is one of the more unique collections of music in Panic!'s catalogue.
With the rock feeling reintroduced into the album at the bass, this left room for soft moments in songs such as "Always" and the ending of "Let's Kill Tonight." This album also saw the very first use of ( in my opinion) the best bassist in all of Panic!'s history (sorry Jon), Dallon Weekes, hence why certain songs like "Hurricane" have amazing basslines as opposed to Pretty. Songs like the first single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" could capture a rock 'n' roll flare that Panic! should have capitalized on after the first album. Vices and Virtues was without a doubt an amazing comeback from a brutal breakup. This is all disregarding the blatant copying of The Beatles at points, "Hey moon," "Hey Jude." Overall Ranking 7.5/10 Yeah, sure, songs like "She's A Handsome Woman" and "That Green Gentleman" have their catchy and overall good sound, but with the lack of a consistent ear catching flare, it's hard to listen to the album. Now, without making a reference to "The Only Difference Between Suicide and Martyrdom is Press Coverage", what's the good of doing that? Not only is the album very underwhelming in the sense of overall sound, but no song really hits hard. was an attempt to capitalize on the success of their first album by completely changing up their sound. #6 (Not worst but least impressive): Pretty.
